including substituted benzyl groups affording 2H-azirines in
good yields along with minor amounts of oxzaolines arising
from the C–H insertion pathway.
With the identification of the mild conditions for the forma-
tion of 2H-azirines, we next explored the feasibility of pyrrole
synthesis via a one-pot tandem reaction of 2H-azirine forma-
tion followed by reaction with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.21
Remarkably, gentle warming of the solution of 1h in the presence
of Rh2(Piv)4 and Cu(acac)2 as the source of 1,3-dicarbonyl
compound smoothly produced pyrrole 4 in 50% yield.

Based on the observations including the stereochemical
outcome of the reactions and the competing reaction pathways,
we propose the plausible mechanism shown in Fig. 2. Thus,
the reaction is initiated by a 1,5-hydride shift to the electro-
philic carbenoid center.22 Depending on the electronic character
of substituent R1, the resulting zwitterionic intermediate C
takes part in the competing pathways (path a/b). In the case
where R1 equals electron withdrawing groups, the propensity
for the cleavage of N–O bond appears to be attenuated due to
the build-up of a partial positive charge on the nitrogen,
resulting in trapping of the oxocarbenium ion by the anion
to form 2-isoxazolines 2. Conversely, those with alkyl groups
for R1 undergo facile N–O bond cleavage with concomitant
formation of a C–N bond to give 2H-azirines 3.

In summary, we have described the development of the catalytic
methods under mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of highly
valuable heterocycles such as 2-isoxazolines and 2H-azirines.
Furthermore, the development of a one-pot tandem reaction for
pyrrole synthesis was achieved where the formation of 2H-azirine
is promoted by the rhodium complex followed by reaction with
1,3-diketone.
